A: We're four guys who write for a laugh. We started in high school as a
way to curb creative frustration and chronic boredom. CACAS eventually turned into a
well-known high profile club on campus (especially after the publication of our second
book.) We had a very static member base, due to extremely strict membership
requirements (you had to have an identical genetic structure to one of us four) which
remain to this day. Because of these guidlines, several other clubs were created
(some by us, some by others) to pacify outraged would-be members; most notably of which
was the Henry Fan Club. The HFC produced an excelent monthly newsletter, and in it's
heyday boasted more members than all other clubs on campus combined (including
school-sanctioned clubs). Even the vice-principal was a member. Another
notable club was the YMCYLF (Young Mens Christian Yeast Liberation Front; more popularly
known as the YLF) which was dedicated to semi-non-violent resolution of contemporary yeast
issues. This club never gained much of a following, but it did create quite a stir
in certain science classrooms. I think what pissed the teacher off the most was that
he couldn't tell if we were serious or not.

A: Citizens Against Citizens Against Stuff. The idea for the name
originally came from Citizens Against Elephants Standing On Vacuum Cleaners, which was
another club at Analy High School in Sebastopol, California.

4. How old is CACAS?A: It's... Uh.... I don't remember. Several years. We started when we
were in high school. We have not been in high school for some time. I think we
started in '91 or '92. Ask Wes, he might remember.

1. Why don't you ever attribute anything to anyone?
A: We would prefer readers to regard CACAS as a single entity rather than a group of
people. It helps preserve the feeling that we are still a close-knit group, even
though we are spread out all over the continent. Also, if one of us writes something
stupid, you can't direct the blame at any one person, which is kind of nice
security. That way as individual writers, we never worry that something is really
bad. We just put it up, and if too many people hate it, we take it back down.
